@engleman10513: Thank you!! I didn’t even think of a swamp tour…Definitely on our lists of must dos now 🙂 We’ve been to Savannah several times and done ghost tours there…It scared me for weeks even after coming home…so I think I’ll have to skip that in New Orleans lol!

@Ryansgirl: my soon-to-be brother in law plays sax in an awesome NOLA band called Brass-A-Holics. They’re so, so fun and play a lot of shows. You should see if they’re playing! There is so much live music there in general. Have some $1 bills handy to tip street musicians, too – they’re incredibly talented.

Definitely make some time to walk around the French Quarter – it’s gorgeous. And you should have coffee and beignets at Cafe Du Monde – it’s super famous and lovely.
